Item #: SCP-3367
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: The region of woodland believed to contain SCP-3367 and produce SCP-3367-A is to be marked and monitored at all times. Security teams composed of no less than 4 persons are to perform routine patrols around the perimeter approximately 50 meters from the marked region. Personnel are not allowed inside the marked region without level 3 authorization given prior.
If traces of SCP-3367-A are found outside the marked region and are not hostile, the entities are to be brought to corresponding Site 203A for examination. Hostile instances of SCP-3367-A1 are to be terminated by patrols, and the bodies to similarly be brought to Site 203A for examination.
SCP-3367-A2 are to be contained within 5x5x5 meter holding cells at Site 203A. They are not allowed out of their unit unless scheduled for an examination or interview. Only personnel with level 3 clearance are authorized to interact with them for questioning.
Description: The appearance of SCP-3367 is unknown. Whether or not SCP-3367 actually exists as a physical entity is still undergoing discussion by Foundation research staff. However, instances of SCP-3367-A2 that have retained functional cognitive and verbal ability commonly reference a being called “Mother.”
Knowledge of SCP-3367, came to the Foundation when reports filed in of numerous disappearances in the woodlands near ██████, ████████. Rangers and police search parties reported the appearance of "enormous deformed creatures” (now identified as SCP-3367-A) roaming the woods and in some cases attacking them.
Instances of SCP-3367-A manifest whenever a human subject comes into contact with SCP-3367. Currently it is unknown exactly how SCP-3367 “creates” these entities, but all humanoids who enter the marked zone believed to contain SCP-3367 will eventually reemerge after a span of 5-14 days as new instances of SCP-3367-A.
SCP-3367-A are humanoid entities that have undergone intensive anomalous mutations. Types and extents of these mutations vary across instances. Researchers theorize much of this difference depends on the genes active in the DNA of affected subjects. There do appear to be common patterns across instances of SCP-3367-A, as listed below
- Severe deformation of tissue and physiology.
- Increased overall cell mass - occasionally concentrated in specific areas.
- Increased strength and durability.
- Increased pain tolerance.
- No need for basic nutritional sustenance for survival.
- Capability to understand personnel - varied across instances.
Occasionally instances of SCP-3367-A that emerge are hostile towards Foundation personnel, and are referred to as SCP-3367-A1. In other cases the entities are significantly docile and willingly cooperate with Foundation personnel. These instances are referred to as SCP-3367-A2.
Instances of SCP-3367-A2 are brought to Site 203A for separate containment. Those that retain basic or advanced cognitive functionality are questioned on their knowledge of SCP-3367. Documentations of encountered instances of SCP-3367-A, and successful interviews with instances of docile SCP-3367-A2, are attached to this form.

Related Documents: Below are attached separate successful interviews between personnel and instances of SCP-3367-A2. In most cases, instances with advanced cognitive function were the only ones capable of communicating beyond standard “yes/no” questioning.
Interviewed: SCP-3367-A2-03
Interviewer: Dr. O. Hayes
Foreword: SCP-3367-A2-03 was unable to communicate through verbal means. However, attempts at teaching the entity basic ASL (American Sign Language) was successful enough for it to answer in basic terms.
<Begin Log | 12/01/19█>
Dr. Hayes: “Where did you come from?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: "Home. There."
> SCP-3367-A2-03 gestured towards the door.
Dr. Hayes: “Where is home?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Mother. Home. There.”
Dr. Hayes: “…Mother? Who is Mother?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Mother. Mother. Made.”
Dr. Hayes: “Mother made you?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Yes. Made.”
Dr. Hayes: “Did mother make all of you?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Yes.”
Dr. Hayes: “Why did Mother make you?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Help.”
> For this question, SCP-3367-A2-03 appeared to have difficulty expressing its answer. Reason noted as lack of training in ASL.
Dr. Hayes: “Help?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Help. Mother help. Help us. You. Help.”
Dr. Hayes: “Mother…wants us to help you?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Help. Mother help you. Us help.”
Dr. Hayes: “Wait, you mean help us?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Yes. Help. Mother help you.”
Dr. Hayes: “Why does Mother want to help us?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Help.”
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Due to lack of vocabulary and difficulty in answering, Dr. Hayes ended the interview early and SCP-3367-A2-04 was returned to its cell. A follow-up interview was scheduled to occur after SCP-3367-A2-03 had received further training in ASL.
Interviewed: SCP-3367-A2-03
Interviewer: Dr. O. Hayes
Foreword: SCP-3367-A2-03 was unable to communicate through verbal means. However, subject had been taught ASL in order to communicate with Foundation personnel.
<Begin Log | 4/24/20█>
Dr. Hayes: “Do you remember who you are?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Yes. I am Mother’s son.”
Dr. Hayes: “I mean before that. Before you found Mother.”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Vulnerable. Weak. Mother found me and made me not weak. To protect me.”
Dr. Hayes: “But you can remember?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “A little. Unhappy times before Mother. Do not want to speak of.”
> SCP-3367-A2-03 refuses to answer any further questions on this topic. Further question was stopped in favor of continuing the interview.
Dr. Hayes: “You mentioned before that this ‘Mother’ made you.”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Yes.”
Dr. Hayes: “You also mentioned she wanted to ‘help us.’ What did you mean by that?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Yes. Help you. Make you stronger against them. Protect you.”
Dr. Hayes: “Protect us from who?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Bad things. Hurt things. Things that will hurt you. That hate you.”
Dr. Hayes: “Do you mean the Foundation?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Yes. Hate you. Hurt you.”
Dr. Hayes: “What about Mother? Does Mother hate us too?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “No. Loves you. Wants to help you. Make you stronger. Protect you.”
Dr. Hayes: “But Mother also makes SCP-3367-A1. They hurt us and anyone they come into contact with, including you. Why would Mother make them too if they hurt?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Mistakes. Mother makes to help, but they come out wrong. Broken. Hate you. Hate Mother. Angry.”
Dr. Hayes: “But if Mother ‘makes’ you, can’t that be controlled?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Mother makes to help. But some too broken. Too wrong. Come out wrong. Angry. Hate. Not what she wants.”
Dr. Hayes: “I see. Then what about the other instances of SCP-3367-A2 that can’t think? Their brains are too mutated or deteriorated for them to function properly.”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Mistakes. Mother makes to help, but they come out wrong too. Not wrong like others. Not angry. But not complete.”
Dr. Hayes: “Are you ‘complete’ then?”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “No. Mistake. Not complete. I help Mother make less mistakes. Make more stronger. Protect others.”
Dr. Hayes: “So…you’re a prototype.”
SCP-3367-A2-03: “Yes. To help others. To help you. Protect you. Mother will protect you soon. Mother loves you.”
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Dr. Hayes ended the interview as SCP-3367-A2-03 refused to answer any more questions due to exhaustion. This appeared to be due to gradual deterioration in the entity’s overall health. SCP-3367-A2-03 was returned to its cell.
Interviewed: SCP-3367-A2-04
Interviewer: Dr. O. Hayes
Foreword: SCP-3367-A2-04 was unable to communicate through verbal means or learn ASL. However, subject could respond to “yes/no” questions through basic gestures. Affirmative and negative gestures will be labeled as “yes” and “no” respectively throughout this report for easier documentation. At times it did not respond. Whether it did this out of failure to comprehend the question, or reluctance to reply, is unknown.

<End Log>
Closing Statement: Dr. Hayes ended the interview as further questioning was limited due to SCP-3367-A2-04’s inability to give more complex, informative answers. SCP-3367-A2-04 was returned to its cell.
Interviewed: SCP-3367-A2-07
Interviewer: Dr. O. Hayes
Foreword: SCP-3367-A2-07 was the first instance of SCP-3367-A2 capable of advanced cognitive function and verbal communication. Even so its language abilities were greatly impaired and required great effort.
<Begin Log | 03/11/20█>
Dr. Hayes: “Did Mother make you?”
SCP-3367-A2-07: “Yes.”
Dr. Hayes: “Are you aware of the others Mother has made?”
SCP-3367-A2-07: “Yes.”
Dr. Hayes: “What are your thoughts on the other instances of SCP-3367-A?”
SCP-3367-A2-07: “Im-com-pete…In-come-pete…They are mistake. Need re-phin-mint.”

Dr. Hayes: “So humanity?”
SCP-3367-A2-07: “Yes.”
Dr. Hayes: “Why?”
SCP-3367-A2-07: “You ah her chilled-eh…children. She pro-ec you. Make you stronger to help you.”
Dr. Hayes: “What is it Mother is trying to protect us from?”
SCP-3367-A2-07: “Bad th-ins. Mother knows. They come an hunt you. Ay hate you all.”
Dr. Hayes: “But who are ’they?’ Why do they hate us?”
SCP-3367-A2-07: “Muh-the know. So Muh…Mother waned help you by mak-in ou str-an-er.”
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Dr. Hayes ended the interview as SCP-3367-A2-07 began to show signs of physical exhaustion. SCP-3367-A2-07 was returned to its cell. A follow-up interview was planned at a later date.
Interviewed: SCP-3367-A2-07
Interviewer: Dr. O. Hayes
Foreword: SCP-3367-A2-07 was the first instance of SCP-3367-A2 capable of advanced cognitive function and verbal communication. Even so its language abilities were greatly impaired and required great effort. Because of this, SCP-3367-A2-07 was similarly taught ASL as SCP-3367-A2-03 had been previously
<Begin Log | 10/12/20█>
Dr. Hayes: “Do you remember who you were before Mother?”
SCP-3367-A2-07: “Yes.”
Dr. Hayes: “Can you tell me what you remember?”
SCP-3367-A2-07: “Worked for you. For Foundation. Was D. Class."
Dr. Hayes: “Anything before that?”
SCP-3367-A2-07: “Yes. I was bad. Did bad things. Mother made me better.”
Dr. Hayes: “How does Mother ‘make’ you?”
SCP-3367-A2-07: “Mother takes us in Mother’s embrace. Makes us stronger. For our own good. Mother wants to protect us. Protect you.”
Dr. Hayes: “Yet many instances of SCP-3367-A are even worse off than before Mother ‘makes’ them. Some hardly have the cognitive ability of a toddler, whereas others attack Foundation personnel on sight. How can this Mother claim to want to ‘protect’ us if what it makes hurts us even worse?”
SCP-3367-A2-07: “They are mistakes. Incomplete. Only steps in Mother’s plan. Each of us is to improve Mother. Our purpose. Mother will make you perfect. Then they can’t hurt you.”
Dr. Hayes: “You’ve talked about ’they’ before. Who or what are ’they?'”
SCP-3367-A2-07: “Hate. Things that hate you. Hunt you. Make you pay.”
Dr. Hayes: “Make us pay? For what?”
SCP-3367-A2-07: “Many things. Mother knows. Mother sees and wants to stop. You are afraid. But Mother will protect you. Mother will make you perfect."
Dr. Hayes: “But what if we don’t want this? What if we don’t want Mother’s protection?”
SCP-3367-A2-07: “You are a child. Too big of a picture for you to see. Mother sees. Mother understands. We understand, because Mother made us. You will too. Mother will make you understand. Protect you. Because Mother loves you.”
Dr. Hayes: “But what is Mother?”
SCP-3367-A2-07: “You will see. Mother will show you soon.”
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Dr. Hayes ended the interview after SCP-3367-A2-07 refused to answer any more questions due to exhaustion. Upon closer inspection, the beginning of cell degeneration similar to what was seen in SCP-3367-A2-03 was discovered. SCP-3367-A2-07 was returned to its cell. Another follow-up interview is currently pending.
